scope. Iii one point of view every
murderer is,R smadman. The impulse
Of Cnin was itst |: an alteration of intel

Don. M. Dickinson, Of Michigan,
whose portrait is presented to our read
rrs to-day, has come into special prom
iuence from the fact of his being
'slited" for the position Of Postmaster
General upon the elevation of Secretary
Lamar to the Supreme Court. Mr.. NJ.
Dickinson came first into national
prominence upon the accession of Mr..
Cleveland to the presidency, though he
has l)ng enjoyed local celebrity. He
Is wealthy man, having an income of
$50, 900 per annum. Mr.. Dickinson is
very popular in the northwests IN part of
the Union ns well az in his own State;
lie is credited with having had much to
do with the Michigan appointments by
the executive and he has never held a
prominent Office only because he has
never been candidate for such honors
aud until lately it has been supposed
that he had little ambition for politi-
Gil position for himself. Whatever in
clinations he may have entertained were
presumed to be toward the Senate. Mr..
Dickinson IL distinctively a working
politician and is distinguished by his
eloquenoe, his readiness and soundness
III debate and by his mastery of the
"ciencel of parliamentary procedure.
Ills knowledge public men and par-
ticulnrly Of politicians and political
events and the currents of political
opiniun will be of great assistance to
him in the cabinet shoull he receive the
appointment. He is gentleman of
fine attainments and agreeal Ia man
,lers and there can be- no doubt that he
will perform tue duties of cabinet po-
sition with the greatest fidelity and
efficiency.

In conversation with an Associated Press
reporter as to tho possibility of a financial
panic resulting from the accumulation of tho
surplus in the treasury after all the payable
bonds are called, Treasurer Jordan said thai
he saw nothing in the present situation which
was at all likely to cause a panic. There was
nothing in the situation to excite such fears.
Should a panic occur, however, Jordan said,
the Government had full power to go into the
market and buy bonds in order to relieve the
financial strain. Although he could not, OF
course, speak for the administration of which
he would soon cease to be a member. he had
no reason to suppose this resource would not
be applied, as it had been with success on
other occasions.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

On the Dedham branch of tho Boston and
Providence Railroad, between Forest Hill and
Rosindale, at what is known as Bussey Park
Bridge, occurred a most appalling calamity on
the morning of the 14th. Tho Z o'clock train
from Dedham, consisting of seven cars and a
baggage coach, under charge of Conductor
Tilden, broke through the bridge. The engine
and three cars went over safely, but five others
fell through to the road beneath, q distance of
thirty feet The last car, which was the
smoker, turned completely over and fell on
top of the Others, all being crushed almost
cut of shape. Over thirty persons wore killed
and fully one hundred injured, many Of whom
will die. The bridge being q new one it is
difficult to account for tho exact cause of the
accident, but it is supposed to have been a

"A disastrous wind and hail storm passed
over portions of Arkansas on the 18th. In
Bradley County houses and barns were blown
down, several people killed, and a number of
plantations ruined.
1t is stated that the body found in 4 barrel
at the Office of the Adams Express Company
in Roston, was consigned to q medical college
in Brunswick. The medical examination find
ing that the woman's death WAS due to natural
causes, and that there was no sign of the de-

was released and forwarded to its destination.
Mrs. Neebe, the wife of one of the con-
demned Anarchists of Chicago, died on the
Sth, and up to the day of interment the house
of mourning was the scene of socialistic dem
constructions by sympathizers of both sexes.
One woman bent over the coffin and burst into
loud lamentations, saying: ''They murdered
her. She was murdered by those hangmen.
Grinnell and Gary were her executioners.
She in her coffin, her husband i'll jail; boil,
victims of capitalistc b~loodhounds." The
sidewalk i'll front of Neebe's house was
crowded with excited people.
Tho recent heavy rains caused consider
able damage in various portions of the inter
ior of Iowa. At Anamosa a serious catastro-
phe was narrowly escaped. The Midland en-
CINE had gone to the state quarry, about one
and one-half miles west of the city, and the
last wheel had hardly left the largo iron bridge
crossing the Buffalo river whom ten large piles
went out with q rush and the entire structure
swayed sidewise. The train viii remain on
the other side for some time. The damage to
the bridge was several thousand dollars.
Seventy-five prisoners had just crossed tho
bridge on their way to the state quarry to
work, and the only mode of getting back to
the prison was by the bridge. They were
ferrled over under heavy guard.
Private services over the body of Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher were held on the morn
